Thank you for visiting!
Our crowdfunding campaign has ended, but you can still support the Geriatrics Fellows by clicking here.
Dear Incredible Supporters of UCLA Geriatrics:
Thank you so much, again, for your generous support of the VA-UCLA Geriatric Medicine Fellowship! You and many others from our community have stepped up to raise over $12,100, which equates to roughly 7 current Geriatrics Fellows being able to attend the American Geriatric Society Annual Meeting this year at no cost to them.
Although this is certainly fantastic and welcome news, we’re still hoping to send all 12 Fellows to the AGS Annual Meeting at no cost to them. With just under 36 hours to go before our campaign ends, we’ve got some work to do and are writing to enlist your help once again.
We have an exciting announcement –a challenge donor has stepped forward! This generous family has committed to MATCH any donation that comes in between now and then end of our campaign on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
Can you help us get the word out about the match?? Sharing the link to this page or your own UCLA Fellowship story and photo to your own networks – family, friends, and colleagues – is one of the easiest ways to join this last push. With your help, we’ll reach 100% before the clock runs out at 12:01 AM on May 9th.
As you know, being able to attend the American Geriatric Society Annual Meeting is hugely important to the development of a Geriatrician. As our population ages, it’s crucial that we have the very best future geriatricians to care of us. Your gift helps ensure a better quality of life for many!
Sincerely,
UCLA Division of Geriatrics Crowdfunding Team
THANK YOU for your incredible support of the 2018 UCLA Geriatrics Fellows! The last few weeks of this campaign have been exciting. In just a few short weeks we’ve already raised over $6,500 toward our goal of sending all of the current Geriatrics Fellows to the AGS Annual Meeting this year. So far, this breaks down to nearly 4 Geriatrics Fellows being able to attend the conference without having to pay any out-of-pocket expenses. For many who are just starting out in their medical careers, this is very WELCOME news.
But, we’re not done yet! There are only 12 days left in our campaign, and we are hoping that you can help spread the word about our campaign to your friends and other previous Fellows. By adding your voice to our campaign efforts, we know that other alumni and members of the Geriatrics community will step up to support the next generation of Geriatricians.
Thank you again for your generosity, and don’t hesitate to contact our department if you’d like to get more involved or have any questions.
All the best,
The UCLA Geriatrics Crowdfunding Team
